more to support them most mortals who support them the international community has to invest more on the. young people who. are critical to. this is the news africa coming up in the next fifteen minutes south africa is settled i'm opposed to just gave one of the most important speeches off u.s. presidency we're asking what is the stage of the rainbow nation just months ahead of the general election that put definitively change the country's political landscape. and as tens of thousands of nigerians flee an upsurge in violence from the experts warning off a new make humanitarian crisis. i'm

christine window welcome to news africa i'm glad you're chewing been the stakes were high when south africa's president soared on the pulse agave he's state of the nation address on thursday evening also has been president for just shy of a year he assumed office office of the ruling a.n.c. the former leader of jacob zuma but as the a.n.c. rather continues to be buffeted by corruption scandals the powerful pulpit off a drama an opportunity to market his vision of the reform party we'll get reaction to the state of the nation speech but first some of the highlights. cinerama poster arriving for a second state of the nation address since taking office with an election looming the president of the ruling african national congress set out to hide out advances made in the last twelve months. over the past year we are focusing our efforts

all accelerating inclusive growth. increasing levels of investment and putting in place measures to create more jobs. those efforts have yet to provide the desired effect growth is sluggish and one percent on employment remains high at twenty seven percent and then this corruption commission into grafters had a steady stream of details of bribes paid to governments and a.n.c. party officials under former president jacob zuma from a poster is promising action the action we take now to encryption and to hold those responsible to our count will determine the pace and the trajectory of the logic of a social and economic transformation we seek from a post has also hinted at movement on one reform promising to redistribute some government land to the poor. now as part of not celebrating learned reform we have

identified and apostles that are owned by the state for redistribution started you can be located. where they are released to address human circumvents needs. and. the a.n.c. is vulnerable and the tissue radical parties want the seizure of mostly white help private land without compensation from a house a want against undermining post apartheid unity. at times it just seemed like that mocha fumin kindness that i loaned us to a recon tile in one thousand nine hundred four had gone sour. i want to bring in professor to needle my lady now he's a south african political analyst based at the university of pretoria professor it's good to have you on the news africa perhaps start out professor by by telling

us what was the overall message so around the post i had full south africans and perhaps make sense of the milk metaphor for us while you're at it i think at the center or through speech. was the whole load of. the economy really it was a speech of the sort of quantum leap and what needs to be to revive. it it was full of issues that relate to the economy that didn't need to fall and that it's going to burst and made to the result of the gene that allows people to come in so we can boost though our two lives in. a sector in the country and of course also our god corruption but. over and above it was about the economy and i think he wanted to say so. there is

a hope we can fix this if we work together i have a plan i have several plans to seek to say to the south africans and in terms of what he meant with the milk metaphor is he speaking to the fact that south africans of this point in time there's a lot of disunity within the country. there is definitely a lot of disunity and it shows at several levels at one level it is as you know we have very few. incidents there that are go viral on the internet and people get very upset. and as i remember in class because there is in this video which country. quite a high percentage of people living in poverty yeah so that is i'm not a source of of the neck of core he's in in society is also gender based

because there is a lot of violence against women ok professor let's hold that thought because we're talking about the an equal society that is south africa at this point in time and we know that the land issue has is looming over south africa right now let's hear from one of the people in leading the debate of land reform that led this party to our people what. kami. we are. six into if you follow the constitution to our law no expropriation often without compensation. but to pass it by or falls they killed our people. our people they stole their lead we're not that he was the rapist we're not that we want to make out of us we want our lead packed issue it's not the question of. a professor coming

back that isn't an emotionally charged julius malema is this sentiment widespread amongst black south africans. oh don't say that it is widespread what is widespread of course is the sense that there. needs to be dealt with. what is widespread is that the a.n.c. government air for twenty five years now has not dealt with the land issue there where but i don't think that's my limited present in my job itself so that's the terms at which is why he his party has only six percent in the last election so but he doesn't present some people i don't think the majority don't ok professor let's wrap this up here my last question to you is about the upcoming election which we now know will be and may many all some people have called it a referendum on the a and seen it is that how we can read this particular eight

action well every election has been a referendum with barry and c because the a.n.c. has what it actually so far so they have the government they have the better of proof as it where they have to prove to the citizens that. they're down whereas it was their fault that they were given less time and they have to do have a plan that they're there to give them to or buy into so in that sense it is a referendum on them but i think it's enough of them when all the political parties that are coming in because all of them have to offer something better i don't see it as it where and and i think this is and will make up their mind you know on the eighth of may i think that's where the general election will take place ok professor. political analysts in south africa based the university of victoria thank you for your time. and pure. ok let's turn our attention

to nigeria now it's a warning of a growing humanitarian crisis in the fall in the east tens of thousands of people have been forced to flee their homes often an upsurge of attacks by the is not missed militant group boko haram the violence is concentrated in borno state as you can see on the map there many of the new displaced people all seeking refuge in the state's capital that will be by way camps they were told already overfilling the nigerian president obama recently acknowledged setbacks in the fight against boko haram and now we hear from vincent pushing the international red cross he told you that they are extremely concerned about the impact the intensifying violence is having on civilians what we have been seen in the last two months is one of the most important move afoot relations since the last two years in maiduguri alone i

mean more than thirty thousand people have arrived lately just in a matter of a few weeks so that's creates a lot of problems in terms of overcrowding of the comps that's why so to reach inside to do about a new camp so that people can be assisted properly you have the feeling there's an adequate response by the authorities on this deteriorating situation it's always a challenge i mean to cope with i mention c. and to provide adequate adequate answer to my dear he said in some protests in the streets by b.p. is. related to related to the assistance they are receiving but there is a problem there is that you get thirty thousand by the peace that is scattered throughout fourteen camps and miller in more than hundreds of thousands of i.d.p.'s that were already there some i've been there for for many years so out to distinguish between those who newly arrived that have some specific needs because some left with almost nothing and whose we have been there for a long long time so that's a that's a very challenging. and for the time being and i said he's going from one come to

another try to identify about other him interactors i mean we zoom and we have been able to ask more as hard for the book that i write them that we started when we could go out of the sense with some essential household items so basically blankets mats i mean muskets and it's because these people just like to raise is nothing to do and was women. during an attack last year. a few workers were abducted and later on killed do you by now have the feeling that your staff there can work under conditions that are safe and convenient for them there exists these killings were a big shock for us i mean for for all of as i said the stuff worldwide i mean and even within the nigerian relation we've got a lot of misinformation patty but it highlights one of the biggest challenge you mentor actors and i see face in the northeast that's access to be teams that's why

we need them and support from all communities i mean from all stakeholders to be able to access as a people to deliver them with some assistance. as now as we're speaking i mean we mentioned thirty thousand people that did access my degree to get some assistance but many others did go to places where human access cannot have access for safety reasons for security reasons we shouldn't be the case i mean according to international min show you major actors should be protected and should have access to the people he needs i mean to deliver them which food was made it seems. so i suppose. right that's why i will leave it from africa for now get can catch all these stories and more on our website and facebook page at because it's just too beautiful to leave you with some stunning images of the number of. western africa i think.
